Toa of Air was a title given to Toa who wielded the Element of Air. Toa of Air were almost always transformed from a Matoran of Air, although Lewa was an exception. Should a Toa of Air fulfill his destiny, they were given the option of sacrificing their Toa Power and becoming a Turaga of Air. If a Toa of Air lost their Kanohi, their Elemental powers would be halved and their overall strength greatly weakened.

A Toa of Air's Elemental power gave them near-perfect command over wind. As such, at a basic level, they could create, control, and absorb air. Examples of such included creating windstorms, using wind currents to fly, and absorbing all the air in an area to create a vacuum. Additionally, Toa of Air were very agile and flexible; they possessed all these abilities on a vastly greater level than a Turaga or Matoran of Air. As a Toa Nuva of Air, Lewa wielded powers even greater than that of a standard Toa of Air, and even had a unique ability: the power to set up a delayed Elemental Air attack.

Toa of Air were usually carefree and somewhat hyperactive and impulsive. They were often very quick and clever, reacting swiftly to situations. However, sometimes they would also not completely think things through, and pay for the consequences (notable examples include Lewa and Matau. An exception to this would be Lesovikk, who actually hesitated too long to save his team.

A Toa of Air's armor was usually colored varying shades of green, such as emerald green, forest green, lime green, or light green. It was possible they could have turquoise as a secondary color. All Toa of Air were also male.
